Surviving The Assault on Private Sector Careers in America

You’ll need to duct tape your head for this one!

DJH: As I watched the stock market tank again this morning — thanks to the pathetic jobs report that has become part of the so-called recovery, Obama comes on TV doing yet-another-stump-speech from some private sector small business in Washington DC and proclaims:

"Call Me the Private Sector Jobs Man"

“For America’s workers, families, and small businesses, progress needs to come faster. Our job is to make sure that happens, not only to lay the foundation for private sector job creation, but also to accelerate hiring — to fuel the small businesses that are the engine for economic growth, to speed our recovery so it reaches the people who need relief. Not a year from now, not six months from now, but now, right now.”

Okay, so far so good, he’s absolutely right, there will be no job recovery until we get private sector small businesses booming and hiring again. But, then he continues with a line that makes me wish I’d duct taped my head (to keep it from exploding); he seamlessly segues to:

“That’s why I welcomed the news earlier this week that after a lot of partisan bickering and delay, the senate passed a bill that will not only keep 160,000 teachers in the classroom this fall, who would otherwise be out of a job, but will help states keep from making other painful lay-offs in central personnel like police and firefighters.”

WHAT? He’s has the cojones to claim that he’s “laying the foundation for private sector job growth” by dumping billions more in stimulus money into the pockets of government union worker’s — how stupid does he think we are?

That’s Only Beginning: More Duct Tape Please!

Obama continues his made-for-TV speech by waxing on about the company he’s visiting. It’s a small manufacturing business in the suburbs of Washington DC called Gelberg Signs and according to Obama, they’re doing wonderfully due to the private sector recovery he created. They’ve been hiring people and taking advantage of Obama’s payroll tax holiday for companies who hire workers who have been unemployed; again, sound good to me.

As Obama drones on about how great he is, FOX Business cuts away from Obama and the host Cheryl Casone says:

“Coincidentally, Gelberg Signs is the company that makes all those signs that say — “Putting America To Work. Project Funded By The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act”

In case you haven’t heard, there is outrage on both the left and the right about these self-serving political signs that go for $10,000 a pop. Now we understand. Obama gave these guys the sign contract so he’d have at least one private sector company to make a speech at when the jobs report went down the toilet!

Does He Even Know What the Truth is Anymore?

In less than 20 minutes, the president demonstrated in unmitigated clarity everything that’s wrong with his administration. He LIED about creating private sector jobs and then exploited a company we’ve poured millions of tax dollars into as a shameless prop for his TV photo-opt.

And that’s why there is absolutely no hope for a job recovery in America as long as he’s president — he wouldn’t know the truth if he tripped over it.

“how stupid does he think we are?” Answer: VERY, VERY. And I guess we are, because 41 percent of the population still likes him.

The signs I have seen also say “Barack Obama, President.” There are at least 6 between the desert and LA. Multiply that by all the highways where such signs exist and you get what, $20 or $30 million dollars. (Actually, I’ve heard billions) As someone once said, a million here, a million there, soon you’re talkin’ about some real money.

You know, I’ve been thinking about some of the stuff going on and I’m about to become a conspiracy theorist…Who would be so stupid as to be playing golf, taking all these lavish vacations, making all these idiotic policies UNLESS there was a reason. Could it be that they know something we don’t? Like maybe the end is truly coming and they figure they may as well spend it all now?…Gotta be something, nobody can be this stupid on accident.
